Chapter 351 (2/2)

A servant brought out a chair, and she sat down facing Mei Xiang. She remained five paces away, but she could still smell the foul stench.

Mei Xiang had suffered some injuries. Although they were not severe, she was covered in blood. It looked a little bit scary. At this point, she had already run out of patience, and she had given up on running away because she knew that Feng Yu Heng was right. There were too many people that wanted to kill her. As long as she left Tong Sheng pavilion, she could only die. But by staying here… could she live?

She raised her head and looked at Feng Yu Heng. In her eyes, there was only death, and she could not even see a glimmer of hope.

At this time, another hidden guard appeared in front of Feng Yu Heng and whispered something into her ear. Feng Yu Heng nodded in satisfaction, as the hidden guard vanished.

Only then did she speak and ask Mei Xiang: “Speak, who told you to do it?”

Mei Xiang shook her head and said in a hoarse voice: “Nobody told me to do it. I did it on my own.” Her entire body was wet, and it was still very cold outside. While speaking, she could not help but shiver.

Feng Yu Heng blinked and said to a servant: “Mei Xiang is cold. Quickly go fetch a brazier.”

Immediately, a servant brought a brazier and placed it at Mei Xiang’s side. Huang Quan walked over and pulled out the hottest piece of charcoal. Leaning close to Mei Xiang, she said: “There’s no need to worry about a cold body. What is worrying is a cold heart. It would be best if you just ate this piece of charcoal to warm up your heart. Or perhaps you could remember how well our young miss treated you.”

Mei Xiang trembled with fear and wanted to dodge back. Unfortunately, there were even more people blocking her.

Huang Quan angrily stuck the piece of charcoal onto her chest, and the sound of flesh and skin burning filled the air along with Mei Xiang’s chilling screams.

But this girl was also quite good at enduring. The charcoal had cooked her flesh, but she still did not faint.

Huang Quan scolded her: “At the time you were being beaten by that woman in Yu Lan courtyard, if our second young miss did not arrive in time, you would have been beaten to death. But why do you not reciprocate? Not only do you not give thanks, you use that sort of thing on our madam. Mei Xiang, oh Mei Xiang, even if this girl were to skin you alive today, it would be something that you deserve.”

Mei Xiang looked at Feng Yu Heng with a miserable expression. She felt that her gaze was extremely frightening. Previously, she felt that the person that wanted her to do this had the scariest eyes in the world, but she finally understood that compared to the second young miss, that person was still a little lacking.

“You won’t speak. Are you having difficulties?” Feng Yu Heng looked at her without any expression. The ferocity in her eyes was still present, and her tone was so cold that is seemed to have come from the underworld.

But Mei Xiang spoke, bitterly begging: “Second young miss, everything was done by Mei Xiang. If you want to kill me, just kill me. Either way, Mei Xiang will not be able to survive. Everyone wants me to die, so I am completely unable to get away.”

Feng Yu Heng asked her: “Since they want you to die, why do you still protect their secret? If you speak, perhaps I can allow you to live.”

Mei Xiang smiled bitterly, “What is the point of me continuing to live? They have my mother, my dad and my two younger brothers. If I say anything, they will all die.”

“If you don’t talk will they be able to live?” Feng Yu Heng almost laughed, “To speak of morals with such a person? Have you not thought about it? With you dead, why would they keep your family around? Could it be that they will allow your younger brothers to grow up and learn martial arts then get revenge for you? I will tell you, that is impossible. As long as you die, your family will immediately be following you. In fact, they may very well already be dead.”

Mei Xiang was stunned and suddenly shouted: “Impossible! Absolutely impossible! They promised me. As long as I completed this task, he would marry me. Even if the plot fell through, as long as I kept my mouth shut, he would give my family a plentiful life. He promised me. He promised me!”

Huang Quan raised her hand and slapped her twice, “Are you insane? You believed these words? Since ancient times, every person that has used emotions to control someone used these words. In fact, they did not even change the words. If he really wanted to marry you, would he bother controlling your family?”

Wang Chuan was also extremely angry, loudly saying: “Mei Xiang, you were at the Feng family’s third young miss’ side. You should have had quite a good life. Based on the third young miss’ personality, no matter what, they would not have mistreated their servants. How did they end up with such a thankless wretch?”

Huang Quan stood close to her. In the instant that Mei Xiang moved, she immediately found that she wore something on her neck. It was round and red. It appeared to be in the shape of a flower.

Her hands were fast and immediately removed the necklace. Mei Xiang shrieked and rushed to snatch it back, but how could she manage to dive onto someone like Huang Quan. She failed to catch even a corner of Huang Quan’s clothes, as she returned to Feng Yu Heng’s side.

She handed the red necklace to Feng Yu Heng: “Young miss, look.”

Feng Yu Heng received it and took a look, “Chicken-blood jade?” Mei Xiang was nothing more than a maidservant. It was impossible for her to have the money to buy something like this. Spinning the necklace in her hand, she suddenly squinted her eyes, as she subconsciously said: “It’s him…”
